Manual - Here's a Little Tid Bit on Bob Grant You Might Be Interested In Subject: Manual - here's a little tid bit on Bob Grant you might be interested in. Posted by Mr Vinyl on Sun, 13 Nov 2005 11:39:16 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message I did a quick search on his name and came up with a biography on him. Here is a small excerpt from the following link. After being fired, Grant then moved down the dial to WOR where he continued to host the same type of show in the same time slot; he would occasionally criticize his WABC replacement Sean Hannity. In the late 1990s his show went into national syndication, trying to follow the lead of Rush Limbaugh and other successful conversative talkers, but few stations picked it up and it reverted to a local show. It would seem your accusation that Rush stole his act from Grant is also wrong. Seems to me that he was trying to follow Rush's lead. Also from what I have read about Grant (I have never listened to him). He is loudmouthed and hangs up on people. Rush never does this so I don't see how you could say Rush stole his "act" from Grant. In what way did Rush steal his act from Grant? **Note - this is your chance to give some facts and not just make wild accusations** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Grant_(radio) Subject: Re: Manual - here's a little tid bit on Bob Grant you might be interested in. Posted by Manualblock on Sun, 13 Nov 2005 12:45:40 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message Easily; Grant was around on the dial since the late 70's and in radio since the early 70's. Where was Rush other than listening to him?And yes, I said he hangs up on people; when they say stupid things. Really who wants to hear that?Find an old tape of his broadcast; then tell me Rush didn't steal his act. Subject: Re: Addenda Posted by Manualblock on Sun, 13 Nov 2005 12:58:29 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message Grant had a talk show in LA back in the early sixties. I had forgot about that until someone reminded me. He came first before all the bore-fests. Subject: Why should I have to prove your wild conspiracy's? Posted by Mr Vinyl on Sun, 13 Nov 2005 13:25:28 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message Page 1 of 5 ---- Generated from AudioRoundTable.com Just tell me. What does Rush do that he stole from Grant? All Rush does is talk politics. He doesn't do anything. Is anyone that talks conservative on the radio stealing his "act" from Grant. I object to the use of the word "act" too. There is no act. He is just talking politics. Again just wild accusations without any basis in reality. This is the reason liberals can't make it on the radio. Just look at our conversations on this web site. I back up what I say whenever possible. I do cut and pastes. I link to web sites. All you do is make accusations and then tell me to look it up. Subject: Re: Why should I have to prove your wild conspiracy's? Posted by Manualblock on Sun, 13 Nov 2005 14:01:43 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message You link to sites where you heard the original point. Why do I have to read it twice? Rush most certainly does an act. Listen to his earlier radio shows before he hit on the successfull formatted entertainment he does now. He was just a lousy DJ until he studied Bob Grant and approprated his shtick.Try Radio News; they have the story in the archives. No Link. Subject: Even if this were true. Who cares? What's your point? Posted by Mr Vinyl on Sun, 13 Nov 2005 14:34:42 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message Rush obviously does it much better than Grant or anyone else. He is the most listened to Radio talk show host of all time. So what is the difference if he modeled his show from Grants? Is this supposed to be a bad thing? What is your point? And again you have given no specifics at all. Why can't you just say, look Grant always did this and now Rush always does this. You can't because it isn't true. Rush simply talks politics. He has no act. What is his act? If one guys act was to say "get off my phone" hang up and say nasty things (grant) and the other is always calm and never hangs up on anyone (Rush) please explain how one stole the others show? They are totally different.And lastly if all some one has to do if steal Grants act to be successful why don't the liberals on Air America to that? Then they would be successful too.

Posted by Mr Vinyl on Mon, 14 Nov 2005 19:47:09 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message Page 4 of 5 ---- Generated from AudioRoundTable.com This I believe is true. For Manual the following is my opinion. Liberals before the internet really never had to debate the facts. The talk shows at the time were usually between a moderate liberal and a far left liberal. Facts never entered into it. Then the internet and cable news came along and people had a choice. They could now hear both sides of a debate. They could now find out the facts. This threw the liberals for a loop. Up until this point all they had to do was spew out some silly statement and no one questioned it. Now that talk radio, the cable news networks and the internet are giving people the facts. The liberals must handle this the way they handle all of their problems. Censorship. Liberals can't win at the voting booth so they simply get activists judges making law for them. But alas the tides have turned. Oh I'm sure the liberals will still win one here or there. Rome wasn't built in a day. But liberalism is a dying breed. What started in the 60's is now finally coming to a head. To bad so sad, I'm glad.See post above for further comments. Subject: Re: Of course. All logical debate from the right must be censored.

But, why you are so obsessed with them? (Just rhetorical question, no I don`t want to hear the answer, censorship reasons :-)).Well, politics is a weird business - now cons are complaining about censorship (`cos it`s the popular theme of the "liberals")...Huh...would you stop If I ask you nicely?

  • The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy
    Mount Rushmore: The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy Brian Asher Rosenwald Wynnewood, PA Master of Arts, University of Virginia, 2009 Bachelor of Arts, University of Pennsylvania, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia August, 2015 !1 © Copyright 2015 by Brian Asher Rosenwald All Rights Reserved August 2015 !2 Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to the many people without whom this project would not have been possible. First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.

Lautenberg in the 1994 United States Senate election in New Jersey in violation of 2 U.S.C. 5441(b) and 5441(d) Almost every day, Monday through Friday, for four hours a day, 3:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. WABC put a paid employee, Bob Grant, on the air who uses the four hours block of time to expressly ad- vocate the election of Chuck Haytaian and the defeat of Frank R. Lautenberg. As you are aware, corporate media have been given a efat exception from 2 U.S.C. §441(b), nL.n. to permit an intermit- tent "editorial" advocating the election of a candidate. Tradi- tionally, that exception has been narrowly construed. WABC has made a decision at the highest levels of corporate policy to allow that "exception" to gobble up the prohibition. By committing four hours of air time during "prime time", 5 days a week, WABC has illegally contributed and subsidized a Federal election in violation of Federal law, expending hundreds of thousands of dollars expressly advocating the election of Chuck Haytaian and the defeat of Frank R. Lautenberg. WABO is believed to be a wholly owned corporation asset of Capi- tal Cities, Inc. which is owned by the American Broadcasting Corp. with offices at 2 Penn Plaza, 17th Floor, New York, NY 10121.

  • Constructing Neo-Conservatism
    Stephen Eric Bronner Constructing Neo-Conservatism by Stephen Eric Bronner eo-conservatism has become both a code word for reactionary thinking Nin our time and a badge of unity for those in the Bush administration advocating a new imperialist foreign policy, an assault on the welfare state, and a return to “family values.” Its members are directly culpable for the disintegration of American prestige abroad, the erosion of a huge budget surplus, and the debasement of democracy at home. Enough inquiries have highlighted the support given to neo-conservative causes by various businesses and wealthy foundations like Heritage and the American Enterprise Institute. In general, however, the mainstream media has taken the intellectual pretensions of this mafia far too seriously and treated its members far too courteously. Its truly bizarre character deserves particular consideration. Thus, the need for what might be termed a montage of its principal intellectuals and activists. Montage NEO-CONSERVATIVES WIELD EXTRAORDINARY INFLUENCE in all the branches and bureaucracies of the government. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz really require no introduction. These architects of the Iraqi war purposely misled the American public about the existence of weapons of mass destruction, a horrible pattern of torturing prisoners of war, the connection between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda, the celebrations that would greet the invading troops, and the ease of setting up a democracy in Iraq. But they were not alone. Whispering words of encouragement was the notorious Richard Perle: a former director of the Defense Policy Board, until his resignation amid accusations of conflict of interest, his nickname—“the Prince of Darkness”—reflects his advanced views on nuclear weapons.

  • 93 Terns of Short-Range Goals and Long-Range Goals Which Seem to Be
    93 terns of short-range goals and long-range goals which seem to be workable in a rough way; details would obviously have to be worked out. But overall, I am intrigued that the difficult questions Bill Blanpied and I discussed last summer have indeed produced some answers that I hadn't thought were possible. Thank you again for all your work. We will conclude by calling on Dr. Charles Cicchetti, Director of the Wisconsin Office of Emergency Energy Assistance to present his thoughts on what has transpired today and what might transpire in the future. 9 7 SUMMARY OF DAY'S ACTIVITIES Charles J. Cicchetti Director Wisconsin Office of Emergency Energy Assistance 9 8 97 SUMMARY OF DAY'S ACTIVITIES ParochialidM in discussing energy illuminates that complex subject about as much as partisanship illuminates complex political issues. In my opinion, both are an invitation to be overly simplis- tic. When complex issues are involved, that probably also means wrong. A summarizer is supposed to be neutral, but that is not my nature and these topics are too far-reaching fo- one to live by the book. Let me demonstrate what I mean by saying that, while I agree with much of what Bob Grant, a legislator from an oil- producing state, has said when it comes to current problems, think he offered us a whole lot of bunk when he offered his opinions with respect to the appropriate policy response. He blamed the Congress for inaction; I won't try to defend them. But the President is the one who speaks "independence" and has it in his nower to end crude allocations and entitlements.
